<h1 class="topictitle1">Backing Up a File System</h1>
<div><p>This section describes how to back up all files in an NDMP NAS file system.</p>
<p>Before performing backup, you need to associate the resources to be protected with a specified SLA. The system protects the resources and periodically executes backup jobs based on the SLA. You can perform a backup job immediately through manual backup.</p>
